United World Wrestling has set a 45 day deadline for action to be taken after which the body will take action against the Wrestling Federation of India. The body warned, “Failing to do so may lead United World Wrestling to suspend the federation, thereby forcing the athletes to compete under a neutral flag. It is reminded that United World Wrestling already took a measure in this situation by reallocating the Asian Championship planned in New Delhi earlier this year.”
